Overall we had a great stay at Stony's place. We've been to Bangkok many times and haven't stayed around the river before. So this was a different experience and we loved the river view and being able to take the boat rides. Highly recommended for a different Bangkok experience!
Pros:
- the apartment is spacious and looks just like the photos
- location is just 5min walk to Asiatique night market, very convenient
- lots of taxis at the main road
- beautiful view of the river
- Stony, the host, is very friendly and helpful. He waited for us during check-in and sent us off at check-out
Cons
- it takes about 40min to an hour to get to town (siam, suhkumvit) depending on traffic conditions so if you prefer to be closer to the main shopping areas, then this location is a bit far for you
- the bathroom is a bit old and doesn't have a shower curtain so it's hard to keep it dry. And there seems to be some leakage of the flushing system so there's a slight odour but nothing too awful to be concerned with
- the bed is really high, much higher than normal. And because we have small kids, it felt a bit dangerous
- there's a small additional electricity bill (about 100baht) per day on top of what you pay
